JMC team seizes huge stocks of banned Polythene material 5/6/2025 9:35:08 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, May 6: In a major crackdown on the illegal storage and distribution of banned materials, the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) seized approximately 40 metric tonnes (40,000 kg) of polythene from the Narwal area, specifically from a warehouse located along Rajiv Nagar Road, late Monday evening. The operation was led by the Corporation Commissioner Devansh Yadav, who was present at the site along with a dedicated team of municipal officials. A truck fully loaded with polythene was discovered parked at the warehouse, alongside a substantial quantity of polythene stored inside the premises. The team also uncovered a large stock of gutka packets during the raid. Given the magnitude of the seizure, police personnel and administrative officials were called to the scene to support the operation. The team carried out a thorough inspection of the premises, including registers and equipment found within the warehouse. Commissioner Yadav stated that the seized polythene appears to be single-use plastic, which is banned. However, the material will be sent to the Pollution Control Committee for laboratory analysis to confirm its composition. "By appearance, it seems to be single-use polythene, but we will wait for lab results to confirm," he added. He further mentioned that individuals present at the warehouse fled the scene upon seeing the JMC team. Investigations are now underway to identify the persons involved in the storage and intended distribution of the polythene. Authorities are also looking into the origins of the consignment and its intended recipients. "The police will investigate who owns the warehouse and to whom this polythene was being supplied. Strict action will be taken against those found responsible," Commissioner Yadav affirmed. This action underscores JMC's commitment to enforcing environmental regulations and curbing the use of banned plastic materials within city limits.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
